3.6 Consolidated financial statements Notes to the consolidated financial statements<br />

In November 2009 the IFRIC issued IFRIC 19 “Extinguishing Financial<br />

Liabilities with Equity Instruments”. The interpretation clarifies the<br />

requirements of IFRS when an entity renegotiates the terms of a<br />

financial liability with its creditor and the creditor agrees to accept the<br />

entity’s shares or other equity instruments to settle the financial liability<br />

fully or partially. The application of the interpretation is compulsory for<br />

fiscal years beginning on or after July 01, 2010. The adoption of the<br />

interpretation did not have a material impact on the Group’s<br />

consolidated financial statements.<br />

In April 2009 the IASB issued the second omnibus standard<br />

“Improvements to IFRSs” as part of its annual improvement process<br />

project. This standard slightly adjusts ten existing standards and two<br />

interpretations by fifteen amendments. Unless otherwise specified, the<br />

amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after<br />

January 01, 2010. The adoption of the amended standards and<br />

interpretations did not have a material impact on the Group’s<br />

consolidated financial statements.<br />

Recently issued accounting standards<br />

In fiscal year 2010/2011, the following standards, interpretations and<br />

amendments have been issued which still must be endorsed by the EU<br />

before they can be adopted:<br />

In December 2010 the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 12 “Income<br />

Taxes”. Under IAS 12, the measurement of deferred taxes depends on<br />

whether the carrying amount of an asset is recovered through use or<br />

sale. Such assessment is often difficult, in particular when the asset is<br />

measured using the fair value model in IAS 40 for investment property.<br />

The amendment introduces a presumption that in general an<br />

investment property is recovered through sale. The application of the<br />

amended standard is compulsory for fiscal years beginning on or after<br />

January 01, 2012, while earlier application is permitted. Currently,<br />

Management does not expect the adoption of the amended standards<br />

– if endorsed by the EU in the current version – to have an impact on<br />

the Group’s consolidated financial statements because currently<br />

investment property is accounted for at cost less accumulated<br />

depreciation.<br />

In May 2011 the IASB issued three new standards dealing with various<br />

aspects of interests in entities: IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial<br />

Statements”, IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements” and IFRS 12 “Disclosure<br />

of Interests in Other Entities”. At the same time it issued amended<br />

versions of IAS 27 “Separate Financial Statements” (2011) and IAS 28<br />

“Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” (2011).<br />

IFRS 10 introduces a single definition for the concept of control for all<br />

entities, thus creating a standard basis for determining whether a<br />

parent-subsidiary relationship exists and should be included in the<br />

scope of consolidation. The standard contains comprehensive<br />

guidance for determining whether control exists. It completely replaces<br />

SIC-12 “Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities” and partly replaces<br />

IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”.<br />

IFRS 11 prescribes the accounting for circumstances in which an entity<br />

exercises joint control of a joint venture or joint operation. The new<br />

standard replaces IAS 31 “Interests in Joint Ventures” and SIC-13<br />

“Jointly Controlled Entities – Non-Monetary Contributions by<br />

Venturers”.<br />

IFRS 12 combines in one standard all disclosure requirements for<br />

interests in other entities, including interests in subsidiaries,<br />

associates, joint arrangements and structured entities. The new<br />

standard replaces the previous disclosure requirements in IAS 27<br />

“Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”, IAS 28<br />

“Investments in Associates”, IAS 31 “Interests in Joint Ventures” and<br />

SIC-12 “Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities”.<br />

The amended IAS 27 now focuses solely on accounting and disclosure<br />

requirements for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and<br />

associates when separate financial statements according to IFRS are<br />

presented.<br />

The amended IAS 28 prescribes the accounting for investments in<br />

associates and sets out the requirements for the application of the<br />

equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint<br />

ventures.
